Save to favouritesPrintMailAkademie Street GuesthousesNo visit to the winelands would be complete without an excursion to the sleepy little town of Franschhoek, which is home to some excellent examples of Cape Dutch architecture. Surrounded by some of South Africa’s oldest and most renowned wine estates, the town also contains 8 out of the country’s top 100 restaurants so it really can justify pitching itself as the gourmet capital of South Africa. On a leafy road just a short stroll from the historical village centre, Akademie Street is right at the top of our 'must stay' list. Each of its [r:SA008:cottages and suites] feels deliciously private thanks to high hedges which wrap around their gardens and pools. And the plethora of treasured antiques, paintings and prints adds to the home-from-home feel. This is a quiet, uplifting and wholly exceptional place to stay, imbued with the generous and gentle natures of its owners, Katherine and Arthur.
